sire. It is also of value in treating animals being fattened for theblock, in which case it entirely stops the flow, in enabling them to befattened in less time and at less expense for food than under theordinary fattening process.

This compound is preferably given to mares and mare mules as follows:One table spoonful each day for three successive days. Repeat after 21days and again after 42 days. For large, strong, young mules the dosemay be increased to double the amount stated. For cows, the sametreatment, except that the dose is increased one fourth. For sows, usethe same treatment as for mules, but the dose is only about one third asmuch.

2. A medicinal compound for decreasing or preventing menstruation,consisting of indigo, about 16 ounces; chlorid of sodium, about 6ounces; linseed meal, about 10 ounces.
